2010 Land Rover Range Rover 4.4L Diesel · GN60 LPF

Recurring issues with suspension components and tyre wear constitute the primary mechanical profile for this vehicle, with the most recent test on 17 November 2025 showing a pattern of wear in the front end and tread depth concerns. While the vehicle passed its latest inspection, the presence of advisories for the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint and the nearside front lower suspension arm bush indicates progressive wear in the steering and suspension geometry. This follows a history of intermittent failures, including a dangerous defect regarding front brake pad thickness in late 2024 and a structural tyre failure in late 2023, suggesting that consumable components are frequently reaching the limit of their service life before being addressed. The vehicle has covered 131,351 miles over its sixteen-year lifespan, averaging approximately 8,209 miles per year. This usage pattern is consistent with typical annual accumulation for a vehicle of this age and suggests a regular driving frequency rather than long periods of stationary storage. From a mechanical standpoint, this steady mileage rate implies a predictable rate of wear on drivetrain components, braking systems, and rubber bushings, though the MOT history confirms that specific items like tyres and suspension linkages are subject to the expected degradation associated with this level of use. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the front suspension during a test drive, specifically listening for knocks, clunks, or irregular thuds when traversing uneven surfaces or speed bumps, which would correlate with the recorded play in the anti-roll bar linkage and the worn lower suspension arm bush. Any pulling to one side or wandering sensation through the steering wheel may also indicate that the noted bush wear is affecting the vehicle's tracking. Furthermore, the repeated advisories regarding tyres being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges suggest a need to inspect the current tread depth and check for uneven wear patterns that could indicate alignment issues. Braking performance should be scrutinised for any pedal judder or uneven deceleration, given the previous dangerous failure for insufficient brake pad thickness. It is also necessary to verify that the supplementary restraint system (SRS) warning lamp is not illuminated, as a major failure was recorded for this system in November 2023. Finally, ensure that all exterior lighting, including the front fog lamps and headlamp aim, is fully operational, as these have been recurring points of failure or advisory items in previous testing cycles.
